No DC Hire Yet: Big Name Coming?

While the OC position has been known since coach Hoke was fired, the DC position remains unfilled. If were getting a member of the Michigan Mafia such as Austin, Heater or Bedford, one would guess that we could have gotten them relatively quickly (especially given the fact that Austin is currently unemployed and Heater was before going to Temple).

Could the lack of a hire mean that we're going after a big name like Randy Shannon? Or does DB feel that he needs to go through a six-day chasing period even though he knows who is going to get hired?

Even though it's still pretty fresh, I'm glad I can laugh about this now. I've never really been that big of an NFL watcher, but after spending most all my Saturday watching Michigan it has been nice to tune in to see some defenses actually work. I might be scarred for life from these past couple seasons.

Yea I agree. Also, I don't know why the OP said "If were getting a member of the Michigan Mafia such as Austin, Heater or Bedford, one would guess that we could have gotten them relatively quickly" ---wasn't that the reason we weren't getting Hoke as the coaching search stretched on and on?

randy shannon would be a rock star hire imo. It will open up that pipline to florida never seen before. I like it. I would pay Shannon a million dollars a year to be the d coordinator. He would definitely be worth it.

The Michigan Man wins every time. I think Randy Shannon is a great hire, but after hearing about Michigan Men and how every staff member will have a fanatical love for our great University, I think a former staffer or player will be the likely choice. Hello Vance Bedford.
